1. Pay attention to eating oranges in autumn.
It is orange season again. Oranges are rich in water and nutrients, and contain a lot of more than ten kinds of nutrients such as vitamin C, citric acid and glucose. Proper consumption can nourish the body, especially for patients with chronic hepatitis and hypertension. Eating oranges can improve the detoxification ability of the liver, accelerate the transformation of cholesterol and prevent arteriosclerosis. Proper consumption can increase appetite, but improper consumption is useless. Pay attention to the following points when eating oranges:
1. Control consumption According to research, eating three oranges a day can meet a person's daily vitamin C requirement. If you eat too much and take too much vitamin C, your body will metabolize more oxalic acid, which will easily lead to urinary calculi and kidney calculi. In addition, eating too much is harmful to the mouth and teeth.
Oranges should not be eaten with radishes. After radish enters the human body, it will quickly produce a substance called sulfate, and after metabolism, it will produce an antithyroid substance-thiocyanate. If you eat oranges at this time, the flavonoids in oranges will be decomposed in the intestine and converted into hydroxybenzoic acid and ferulic acid, which can strengthen the inhibitory effect of thiocyanate on thyroid, thus inducing or leading to goiter.
Oranges should not be eaten with milk. Protein in milk can easily react with fruit acid and vitamin C in oranges and solidify into lumps, which not only affects digestion and absorption, but also causes abdominal distension, abdominal pain, diarrhea and other symptoms. Therefore, it is not advisable to drink milk within 1 hour before and after eating oranges.
4. It is not advisable to eat oranges before meals or on an empty stomach, because the organic acids in oranges will stimulate the mucosa of the stomach wall and are not good for the stomach.
Old people and children should eat less. Elderly people with gastrointestinal, kidney and lung dysfunction should not eat more, so as not to induce abdominal pain, waist and knee pain and other symptoms. Some children eat too many oranges, and there will be what Chinese medicine calls "getting angry", such as glossitis, periodontitis and pharyngitis. Therefore, children should not eat more oranges. If you eat for a long time, stop eating 1 ~ 2 weeks before eating.
